TG-16/TE/TurboDuo Discussion / Game of the Month: March 2024 - Jim Power

« Last post by geise on March 04, 2024, 09:39:28 PM »

JIM POWER

So this month is a run n' gun that has been on a ton of console and pc's in the early 90's. I have it on the amiga and it's basically Turrican. Even the music is by Chris H?lsbeck. The character animation also looks ripped from Turrican. The legs anyways. I don't know why but I've always wanted to give this version a whirl. For the 0 people that care here is a little synopsis: "Jim Power is the chief of the Special Warfare Unit in charge of the President's security. He is an unrivalled sharpshooter and is gifted with an incredible aptitude for detective work. Jim, urgently implored, accepts the mission of his life - to rescue the kidnapped President's daughter from the Mutant Planet, a terrifying world infested with evil beings. If you become Jim Power, you will face a challenge you never dreamed of, with the lives of millions of people in your hands. Combat evil, fight for justice and defy the Mutant Planet!"

Lol! Anyways give it a try. Enjoy!

Oh, Yes the first level music is a blatant rip off from Ys III. Chris even admitted to it decades ago. He has been a fan of Falcom's music. Still....he couldn't just change it up a bit more? Lol.

TG/PCE Repair/Mod Discussion / Re: Super Cdrom2 RGB mod

Pretty much the same as a DUO as far as the DIN 8 port is concerned. But then you need to tap the video signals from the Expansion port pins.

Here is a diagram of the expansion port pins. 


Another thing of note is that the Din port on the super cd rom doesn't have 5V going to pin 4 like a DUO does. So you will have to solder a wire there and get 5V from somewhere. I just grab is straight from the 7805 voltage regulator but I'm sure there are other spots that can be used.

PC-FX Discussion / Re: (Homebrew/NSFW 18+) Kidnapped Innocence

This thread has been reported for the theme of rape.  Seeing as there's official games that also cover the topic (among other naughtyness) I don't plan on doing anything to limit this thread yet.  As long nobody is embedding NSFW screenshots or something, how is this any worse than discussing Steam Hearts or Cosmic Fantasy 3?

Because these games are no different... I have a pretty good idea who reported the game. They got upset because i had made a casio loopy port of the same game and added anti-Hamas statements to it, which made them pretty upset and led to the removal of the gitlab account. I pointed out the fact they had played plenty of PC-98 games that featured rape and they did not like that fact.
Before posting it here, i had shown this game to multiple people and they had found no issue with it...

I have updated the game to increase the fps by twice. The game went from 7 FPS to 13-14 FPS (at least on mednafen, on real harware its more like 10 FPS).

I just downloaded it from github using the link in the OP and the 7z file seems to be missing track1.wav, which causes an error.

Yeah my bad, i forgot to put that file in. I corrected the link. Thank you for reporting it

TG/PCE Repair/Mod Discussion / Short to ground duo rx

« Last post by Chrischuck on February 23, 2024, 10:37:34 AM »

 Hi
      I have a duo rx I am working on that now has a short to ground. One of the voltage regulators test short to ground in the 5v. I recapped the board a while back. Originally it had issues with a bad rgb mod. It has been removed and replaced with voultar RGB mod. I had it running but something was still wrong with video like a color was missing or white was missing. I removed the hu6260 and cleaned it up. There was messed up pads etc and I put it back on. Went to test and now I have the short. Any ideas? Its probably a bad component but hard to find.
